LIDS to open new store over at the Outlets at Corpus Christi Bay

Leading omnichannel sports licensed retailer LIDS Sports Group is set to open a new LIDS store in the Outlets at Corpus Christi Bay on February 16.

The new LIDS store is located in the Outlets at Corpus Christi Bay (500 North Highway 77 SPC 406) and offers officially licensed and branded headwear of collegiate teams, major professional sports teams, as well as other specialty fashion categories in the latest styles and colors.

Customers can also enjoy the store’s “Custom Zone,” which provides unique, personalized embroidery capabilities for headwear. The EmbroidiGraph option is exclusive to LIDS and allows the stores to embroider autographs of current professional athletes on any piece of headwear.
